The Phoenix Suns (16-7) lost to the West’s worst team, the Houston Rockets (6-17), on Friday night in front of their home crowd, so you had to wonder if they’d try to make up for it on the road against the West’s other worst team, the San Antonio Spurs (6-18) on Sunday afternoon.
They did.
After a janky first quarter that ended with a small 5-point lead, the Suns went on a 58-19 run over the next 17 minutes to blow the game open and render the rest of it a scrimmage for the Suns bench.
